couldn't learn any lessons from it because it is so unique. there is one or two lessons about taking photographs. >> just don't. >> that's true. that's going to do it for us. thanks, guys. we should put ali in the middle of you two. >> i have been saying that for weeks. >> there you go. now, you are talking. >> what a way to end the show. >> christine has the tallest torso. that's why she gets to sit in the middle. >> kyra, great to see you. take it away. lots of news to cover. thanks guys, appreciate it so much. great to be back. 9:00 a.m. on the east coast. 6:00 a.m. on the west. i'm kyra phillips. here is a look at what you are clicking on. embattled congressman, anthony wiener, could face an ethics investigation for the sexting

stan d scandal. aus sttan goolsbee is resigning. libyan state tv reported another nato air strike on a gadhafi compound. no details on damages or possible injuries. we know what congressman anthony wiener did, the lewd pictures, the sexy, racy messages and photos, the lies he told before he admitted the truth. now, the question is, did he actually break any of congress' own rules? >> i engaged in inappropriate online conversations with people that included photographs and it was a mistake to do that but i didn't -- i don't believe that i did anything that violates any law or any rule. >> congress is going to make that call. house minority leader, nancy pelosi, wants an ethics investigation. cnn's kate bolduan, covering that for us. kate, what are you hearing about whether he did break any rules?

>> reporter: it is actually quite unclear, kyra. as you said, nancy pelosi has come out to call for this ethics investigation. in her statement, she said, she is calling for the committee to look into whether any official resources were used or any other violation of house rules occurred. i spoke with a well-known ethics expert this morning. he tells me that the rules about how a member of congress should or shouldn't conduct themselves or behave online are very unclear in this new age of twitter and social media. many other people are pointing to kind of an ar cane provision that members should conduct themselves in a man they are that reflect credibly of the house. that provision is not used generally as a stand-alone provision to sanction someone often used in conjunction of some other form of violation. the democratic leader has called for this investigation. we have no official word or response from the committee but

that's not a survive as you well know. as you ran that piece of sound, it us unclear whether he violated anything. he is clearly lining up his defense already. saying it was personal time, personal accounts and personal devices, if you will, saying he doesn't think that he has done anything wrong, kyra. >> so, behind the scenes, he says he doesn't think he has done anything wrong. we know nancy pelosi has called for this ethics probe but do we know if nancy pelosi or any of the other dems have called wiener, sat down with him face to face and said, look, you have got to resign? >> i think the response that we have heard has ranged from notably, a near-deafening silence from some democrats and this immediate, near immediate call by the democratic leader to have this ethics investigation. clearly, democratic leadership trying to distance themselves from anthony wiener and,

frankly, from this mess. we are told by democratic sources that nancy pelosis call for this investigation came only after a private conversation between her and anthony wiener where he made abundantly clear he was not going to design. that's why they are calling for this ethics investigation. i am teeld by democratic sources we should take this as a show of just how furious she and democratic leaders are about this situation and they are clearly trying to distance themselves from it now. >> kate, thanks. if one person is saying, i dold you told you so, it has to be andrew breitbart, a conservative blogger who first posted the pictures. he says he now has an "x" rated picture of the congressman that he is not posting. here is what he told cnn about that. >> i am not the cruel person that the media and certain people on the left think that i am. i guarantee you, that is a news worthy photo. i just don't think that, i don't want to be known as the person that released that photo.

>> you will never release it now? >> you know, here is what i will say. i'm starting to hear from somebody that they are going -- if they start going after the girls. if they start releasing stuff about the girls, some of the images that were sent to him as a way to tell girls to not come forward, i have the photo. i have no intention. i can't fathom that he would be stupid enough to start going after the girls and to start releasing photos of them that they have given. let it lie. okay? >> breitbart also says he feels vindicated now by wiener's admission. wait a few more minutes and you will hear fra steve cran knacky has to say about this. he thinks he can forget about running for mayor of new york and being the liberal spokesman on tv. he also adds, he might need to reinvent himself if he even wants to stay in congress. we are getting word now on

heavy nato bombing in tripoli. according to libyan state television, moammar gadhafi's compound has been hit. dan, what do you know and why is this strike so significant? >> reporter: well, i think what is significant is that we are getting a lot of daytime strikes that we haven't had in the past, just a couple of minutes ago, we had another one, which i think brings it to about 25 air strikes we have have had in the last four hours or so, including colonel gadhafi's compound itself according to the regime here. they also tell us that is the popular guard compound was hit and the revolutionary guard compound was hit, which is just over behind me a kilometer or so away. libyan tv station was also hit last night. they tell us two technicians were killed and 16 people injured. but, the real significance of this, according to one nato source that i spoke to, this is a turning of the screw on colonel gadhafi, a ratcheting up

of the pressure as witnessed by this almost kind of constant bo bombardment for the last few hours. some of the air strikes very loud, sounding like they may be using a much bigger -- >> once again, our dan rivers having an issue there, as you can see, with our connection. we will continue to update you on that story. once again, a nato air strike on one of moammar gadhafi's compounds. we will continue to swrup date the story throughout the hour. >>. >> now, the deadly and mysterious outbreak of e. coli in european, the fears have spread across the continent and all the way to the u.s. now. this particular strain is resistant to drugs and unlike any ever seen before. let's talk about this more with chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta. we want to know how big this risk is? >> in the united states, the risk is going to be pretty small. the four people that got infected all went to germany.

we are not talking about secondary infections. we are talking about people that are actually in germany. everyone is talking about this now. the vigilance is there. people are pulling food off the shelves. they are going to be a little more cautious about this. the risk is small. 12 countries, 2200 people. a lot of people become really sick. this is a rare form of this e. coli that makes this toxin in the body and causes death. >> we are talking thousands of people. is that unusual? >> it is no the largest outbreak we have ever seen. we have done a lot of reporting. the largest e. coli was back in '96. this is big, widespread. it is most unusual in that 600 or more people now have developed what is known as hus. hemo lit tick you're remick syndrome. people's blood stops clotting. their kidneys start to shut down. 70% of the people that develop that serious complication were also women. it may be because they are

eating more of the con dam nated food. >> thanks. >> welcome back. >> thanks. great to see you. also all are advice during my pregnancy. after last week's attack, ali abdullah saleh suffered a collapsed lung and burns over his 40% of his body. his medical treatment encourages more questions about his return. hi, max. >> the concern is this power vacuum in yemen. we have heard today that the tribal fighters have seized the opportunity. they have taken control of a major city calls taiez. fighting continues and people killed overnight and fighting in abian.

that's a real strumhold for al qaeda. they appear to be getting stronger with this power vacuum. yemen's brace for power as the president vows to return. yemenis have celebrated the autocratic president's abrupt departure. it has left a deep power vacuum. broader conflicts that would mire the country in civil war. the australian writing with a nightmare scenario in yemen. so this is about revolution, wrapping this whole area up. it is about al qaeda as well. >> max foster, thanks. sarah palin may have upstaged mitt romney's announcement he is running for president but romney tells, cnn, hey, no harm, to foul. jim acosta following that story

from washington. hey, jim. >> hey, kyra, good morning. might be no big deal for mitt romney that sarah palin was up in new hampshire last week. if you look at a new abc washington post that came out, mitt romney is basically neck and neck with president obama in a hypothetical matchup for the 2012 presidential election. this is despite the fact that sarah palin had that very high profile, very visible bus tour up the east coast where she ended up in new hampshire. coincidentally enough on the same day that mitt romney was announcing he was running for president. romney, the former massachusetts governor, was on piers morgan last night. sarah palin said she didn't mean to step on any toes. piers morgan asked romney about that last night. >> she does things like that, where she basically says, well, he can be as nice to me as he

likes but i'm going to ruin his day. >> she really didn't ruin my day. >> in a lot of respects, it is the best thing that could happen to me. right now, your greatest enemy is overexposure. people get tired of seeing the same person day in and day out. >> romney might be on to something if you look at these new poll numbers in the abc news washington post poll, sarah palin does not do quite as well, no the nearly as well as mitt romney does against president obama. she is somewhere in the neighborhood of 15 points behind the president in a hypothetical matchup, kyra. >> sort of an unusual matchup, shall we say. what the heck is miley cyrus, what does she have to say about rick santorum? is she even old enough to vote yet? >> you know, i don't know if she is, kiran, to be quite honest with you. she is old enough to get the support of my daughter, who is a big hannah montana fan. that is unfortunately, the case.

i hope i don't get in trouble for that. rick santorum had his big announcement yesterday in pennsylvania, that he is running for president. he has pretty much a long shot chance of becoming president at this point. after he did an interview on abc talking about his presidential bid, he went on a radio talk show and was asked about the fact that miliary cyrus has been tweeting basically the fact that she doesn't like rick santorum's positions on gay marriage. rick santorum is very much against gay marriage. miley cyrus took aim about that. he was asked about this on the radio program. rick santorum said maybe he will hold out hope for lindsay lohan's support coming up in the presidential race. i'm not sure that's going to help him either. >> my guess is he probably should stick with miley cyrus versus lindsay lohan. great to see you. i'm sure your daughter will love the shoutout. don't worry. you are not going to be in too much trouble. we will have your next

political update in just about an hour. for all the latest political news, go to our website, the lewd pictures and steamy messages might be the end of congressman wiener's can rear. at the very least, they could put the brakes on his ambition. he is plenty am bishciobitious. he had to confess to his wife, who happens to be one of hillary clinton's closest aids. we will talk more about huma abudine just ahead. [ male announcer ] breathe, socket. just breathe. we know it's intimidating. instant torque.

comedians should be thanking congressman anthony wiener for all the material. stewart defended him before the truth came out. >> 4:25, eastern standard time, this story officially became sad. you know, we forget sometimes. i certainly do. that these people are human and that's a lesson that's going to stay with me until i turn back to the camera over there and do a little bit on the john edwards story.

>> so everything wiener has worked for could be in jeopardy now. if you ask steve cran knacky with this sexting scandal, he will say, pretty much. >> you have covered this guy. you know his reputation, tell us more. >> not so much his reputation on what he does in his personal life but his reputation for how he handles himself in politics. when you consider this scan tall against that, it starts to look like the question comes out, why would he want to stay in politics? he has given everyone the impression that he is really not interested in being a day to day member of the house are not interested in working behind the scenes to kraft legislation to come up with strategy to push things through the house. he is interested in using the seat to run for mayor of new

york. he already ran once. wanted to run in 2009, got pushed out by mike blumberg and has been running since then. he has wanted to use the seat to be a tv star. he has been one of the most visible talking heads for the last couple of years. that was tied in with running for mayor as well. in the wake of this, running for major is basically out right now. at least for 2013. you look at the television side of it, i think he has really kind of got to be contrite and low profile for the next, i don't know, year or two. i'm not sure what the statute of limitations is on that. if you take away the television aspect and you take away the mayoral campaign, there isn't much left to the congressional career of anthony wiener. at that point, you wonder, does he want to stick around? if he does, will he have to reinvent his role in congress? >> can he reinvent his role? listening to you, it sounds like he didn't do much but pump his ego and try to be on television all the time. should he just resign?

do you think he will resign? what do you think of him saying i am not going to resign? >> most politician ns this situation their initial instinct is not to resign. if he doesn't resign in the next few days or week, the more significant question is what is happening a year from now. new york state is due to lose two congressional seats. there is a limited number of seats within the state that are at risk of being eliminated. anthony wiener's has always been one of them i think a development like this, when you consider he doesn't have that many friends in politics, that many friends in albany where this decision is going to be made, even within his own party. i think this development makes it much more likely his district will be eliminated next year, which will leave him a choice, do i run for re-election in a district i can't win or do i call it a day then? that's the real thing to look forward to right now. >> we will be watching, steve

cornacki, always good to talk to you. a lot of words you can't say on television, nothing like the band handed down to french journalists. the taboo terms, facebook and twitter. coldwell banker. we never stop moving.

i'm kyra phillips and i'm on twitter. you can follow me on twitter. what i just said there, that would get me in big trouble if i was on french t vchl. journalists have been banned from inviting viewers from following them on facebook and twitter and any specific social media site. max foster following that story. explain this one to us. it has us scratching our heads. >> it is peculiarly french. there is a law outlawing clan des tyne advertising, promotion of a brand outside the boundaries of recognized publicity avenues. outside the outbreaks, you can't promote other products. that's a law they are enforcing on this, particularly the body enforcing it is called the superior audio visual council. here is a quote from them.

christine kelly writes, facebook and twitter are commercial brands like coca-cola or l'oreal or many others. so this is all about commercialism. also, i have to say, there is lots of comment, even in france, that this might be a bit anti-american. if they were french social networking sites, the laws wouldn't be enforced. >> what are the penalties if a journalist does violate the band right now accidentally or otherwise? >> at the moment, they are just making a warning. in theory, they could end up in court. as an anchor, you have to refer to social networking sites, follow me on social networking sites. there are only two main ones, really, aren't there, in the western world. that's all you can say. you can't refer to facebook or twitter. be careful what you say when you go to france. >> i will be very careful. hopefully, i will get to go back

someday. max, thanks. quick question. do you know who this woman is. she is the wife of washington's most newly disgraced politician but also a high-profile washington insider and close confident of hillary clinton. you are going to get to know her a little better next. >> how about this for a corporate perk. a year's supply of beer. that's what one company is giving away. you have to get hired first. we are going to go back to the new york stock exchange for details. and more pills. the evening guests arrive. back to sore knees. back to more pills. the day is done but hang on... her doctor recommended aleve. just 2 pills can keep arthritis pain away all day with fewer pills than tylenol. this is lara who chose 2 aleve and fewer pills for a day free of pain. and get the all day pain relief of aleve in liquid gels. or the brake™.

new york congressman, anthony wiener, you may not heard of him before the scandal erupted. the same may be true for two other key players, his wife, a long-time aid to hillary clinton and andrew bright bar, a conservative blogger that pushed it all wait to yesterday's scandal. >> i'm deeply apologetic first and foremost to my wife, to the many people that put so much faith and confidence in me that watched me make this terrible mistake. but, everyone that i misled, everyone in the media, my staff, people that i lied to about this, they all deserve an apology. >> mary snow, i know a lot of people talking about his wife and how she feels right now but also andrew breitbart and his role in all of this.

let's start with him. >> kyra, he was the first one to post this lewd photograph of congressman wiener on his website. yesterday, we saw a 26-year-old woman come forward to say that she had had an online relationship with congressman wiener. andrew breitbart says that that woman had come to him through a third party, a friend of the woman's had put him in touch with andrew breitbart and that he then shared her identity with abc news and that interview was broadcast last night. andrew breitbart yesterday during the day had started posting embarrassing photographs of congressman wiener once again. it was just hours later that the congressman came out admitting that he had these inappropriate relationships and that he had been lied to. andrew breitbart said he wanted to be vindicated. he has been a controversial

figure in the past. i won't without out that his credibility had been questioned. you remember shirley sherrod, she had been forced out. an excerpt of her speech had appeared on his website. it appeared she had been discriminated against a white farmer. that was not the case. >> he ended it with a political purpose, making it sound like she was saying one thing and she really wasn't. we saw how that all blew up in everybody's face. we haven't heard a lot about wiener's wife. we can just imagine what she is going through, how she is feeling. we are sort of, i guess we are wondering what she is going to do next. we noticed that she was not there at the news conference. she wasn't the woman standing by her husband's side. we also know she is a very close friend of hillary clinton, a

close aide to hillary clinton. can had hillary clinton went through a sex scandal of sorts. i wonder if his wife called her for advice. there is an interesting dynamic there that we are curious to know more about. >> she is someone who you see her constantly by the side of secretary of state, hillary clinton. she reportedly started working for mrs. clinton back in 1996 at the white house and has been at her side ever since. we don't hear much from her. to give you a sense, democrats really speak so highly of her and, yesterday, democratic statgist, james carville, had said on our air, she is one of the most popular people in the democratic party saying that democrats are furious with anthony wiener for putting his wife through this. she is someone who is also in a "vanity fair" article written by

jonathan alter recently. it was a profile of hillary clinton. in it, it says, huma had been married the same month as chelsea clinton. this made her feel she had two family weddings at the same time. that's how close they are. >> she is a strong woman. her reputation is out there as that. we will watch this as it continues. mary snow, thanks so much. the bottom of the hour. here is a look at what you are clicking on. ju >> european officials meeting over an outbreak of e. coli that hayes killed people. no skeconcern about it spreadino the u.s. police claim he tried to con physical kate his video of the shooting. police officers put a pistol to his head and smashed his phone after he started recording. actress reese witherspoon is slamming actors who have been part of sex tapes and scandals. she made her comments at mtvs

struggle going on to try to retain workers as start-ups grow into these big tech companies. google raised salaries by 10% because many of the employees were moving over to the younger facebook. when google started, it posts workers from microsoft, ibm, yahoo!. what comes around, goes around, kyra, i guess. >> good to see you. thanks so much. >> the city that banned toys and happy meals tackles a very different childhood issue. san francisco voters get set to weigh in. are you ready for this? circumcision. that's next. yep. the longer you stay with us, the more you save. and when you switch from another company to us, we even reward you for the time you spent there. genius. yeah, genius. you guys must have your own loyalty program, right?

opinion here in this op ed on cnn.com. a lot of things tick you off about the issue. the idea of government where it doesn't belong and people dismissing the potential health benefits of circumcision. what's your main problem with this campaign? >> my main problem is just nosey people. i don't understand. if someone came up to me and said, hey, i want to stop parents from deciding to circumstance couple size their newborns, would you sign this form? i would tell that person to get out of my face. i can't believe thousands of people in san francisco say, it is a good idea to tell parents what to do with their children. >> anti-circumcision activists say. there is enough of them to get this on the ballot. they say, this amounts to mutilations. you say to them? foreskin ban. that's what i say. a comic book written by one of these organizers.

this is the person helping to lead this conversation. that's what i would say to them. >> they will also say, oh, lz, come on, if both you and all of us here argue freedom of choice. you say parents should have the freedom to decide their son's medical treatment, anti-circumcision folks say, it is the son who should have that freedom of choice. now, from what i understand, they really don't have the ability to do that while they are in the hospital, when they are just born. okay. when they are old enough to make a decision, that leaves them the opportunity to do that. >> i am about choice. i certainly could understand the rational behind that argument. one thing this ban doesn't make any provisions for is religious practices. it is an infringement on our constitutional rights. beside it impeding upon a parent's private decision about their son's general tail ya, it is also unconstitutional. i don't know who these people

are in the state of california, because there was also discussions in santa monica as well about having this ban. i don't know who these people are. i just want them to go away. >> if you keep writing about it, we will keep talking about it. it is always good to see you and read your columns. happy monday or tuesday. >> thanks so much for having me. taking a page from the tea party playbook, a group has formed a hat dilatino voters. it is called the tequila party.

together all over the years. we accomplish something. if we don't work together, we won't have nothing. >> even though sometimes you disagree, isn't that right? >> yes. we must give unity. if we don't have unity, we never achieve nothing in life. grown men, like you say, in washington, everybody has different opinions. they must get together and solve the problem. this is what you are going to do. otherwise, you are not going to get nowhere. who is the person who suffers? it is the people out there. >> it is not there. >> it is not the president or the congress suffers. it is people. >> that is bwhat we heard yesterday from a lot of people, general disgust with washington in that they are not getting anything done. these guys would run the country very well. >> i was going to say, with all the political scandal, we need

these guys running for office. treat each other for family. there you go. feed them that good food. >> yeah. >> ted, thanks. they are going to keep talking his ear off, i bet. we just got started with the brothers there. the boston bruins watch a teammate get hurt on a blindside hit. then, they come back to put an eight-goal beating on vancouver. sports in seven minutes. boost nutritional drink. oh! it's smooth, it's creamy. and fulfilling! really, really nice tasting. it's easy to hold. this beats anything else i've tried. i'll go along with that. boost has 26 vitamins and minerals and 10 grams of protein to help you stay strong and active. it's delicious. wonderful. i want another one. and i'll recommend it to anyone. use boost. britta olsen is my patient. i spend long hours with her checking her heart rate, administering her medication,

congressman's goose was cooked. >> i don't know what i was thinking. this was destructive things to do. >> reporter: some of the pictures were playful, flashing a sign with his wedding ring fully visible and he had family photos behind him, the owner said he didn't publish the worst photo. >> it's of an x-rate nature. >> reporter: the person p congressman weiner apologized to mostly was his wife. >> i love my wife very much and we have no intention splitting up over this. >> reporter: how thinged have changed how he referred to his wife just over two months ago. >> she's lovely, elegant, brilliant and widely respected throughout this town. so, obviously opposites attract. i do the weiner jokes around here, guys. >> reporter: now everyone is

cause. and japanese officials confirmed three reactors suffered full meltdowns. here's why congressman anthony weiner could face an investigation. he admits sending inappropriate messages and pictures to hatch a dozen women over three years. he's quick to add there's nothing physical, though. he also said his wife knew what was going on before they were married but didn't real liz he kept those online antics going after they were married and he claims he didn't break any laws or rules, didn't use a government blackberry and won't resign. weiner also had to at mitt all his denies over the last couple weirs were lies. >> last friday night i tweeted a photograph that i intended to send as a direct message as part of a joke to a woman in seattle. once i realized i posted to twitter, i panicked and took it down and said i had been hacked. i then continued to stick to

that story which is a usually regrettably mistake. >> and he made one of those hugely regrettably mistakes less than a week ago to cnn's wolf blitzer. >> you didn't send that photo to that woman in washington state? >> i did not send it to that woman in washington state. >> but you're not 100% sure the photo is actually -- >> what i am going to say we're doing everything we can to try to answer that question. we're doing an investigation. i want to caution you, photographs can be doctored, photographs can be manipulated, taken from one place and put in another. >> now that the truth is finally out, it's time for the next step. house minority leader nancy pelosi called for ethics investigation. cnn's kate bolduan is covering that. what are the rules when it comes to internet use, kate? >> it's quite unclear, that's what i'm hearing from experts as a short answer. the democratic leader, as you well mentioned called for this

ethics investigation, she's in her statements, she wants the commit dwree look into whether official resources were used by anthony weiner and what he was doing and if any other violation of house rules oh ur canned. many people pointing to one provision in the koefd conduct. it says -- generally said the member shall conduct themselves in a manner that respects credibly of the house. many are saying that that doesn't stand alone as a way to sanction a member very typically and also used in conjunction with another violation, very clear violation, if you will. one expert said clearly to me, the rules surrounding how a member should or shouldn't behave online, on the internet are very unclear in the new age of social media. it will be up to the ethics committee to wade through the murky code of conduct rules if they decide to take this up. we should say the ethics

committee should not mention a word. which is notoriously tight-lined. >> also, weiner is in the is seventh term, he's very well known on the hill. what are his colleagues saying about him? >> if anything is helping anthony weiner, the house is in recess. it's easy for them to stay silent. that's one thing we've been noticing, the near deafening silence of his colleague, also to note that right after, almost immediately after that press conference that anthony weiner held, democratic leader said nancy pelosi is calling for investigation. that shows how furious democratic leaders are about this whole mess. it's ranging from deafening silence to trying to distance themselves clearly from anthony weiner in this mess. >> thanks, kate.

ball of smoke coming up behind these trees here. it sounds as if they are using bombs, much louder than we've heard before. nato itself is remaining pretty tight-lipped, saying it's an ongoing operation, and one source i spoke to, maybe saying they are turning the screw on colonel gadhafi and lashing out the pressure. >> all right. continuing to follow that breaking news after getting word about that attack on moammar gadhafi's compound. meanwhile, a police shooting in miami beach causing controversy. first, the shots rang out and then the witnesses who shot that video say that the intimidation began. we have the full story in about ten minutes. and the economy in a rut. so is congress. an analyst doesn't expect much to help us out of it and second economic stimulus, is it in the

from congress. you under this, it's a political hot potato. >> if the economy continues to slow down, something has to be done. what about the federal reserve, can it do anything? >> it can. there's been a lost talk on wall street lately about what the fed can and cannot do. right now the fed is buying hundreds of billions of dollars of bonds. what this is is a type of stimulus. it pumps extra cash into the economy. the thing is this program is expiring at the end of this month. the question, will the fed step in again? we'll look at clues when p ben bernanke speaks this afternoon. we're hearing other federal officials saying he doesn't expect more bond buying, another saying it's too soon to consider but department rule it out. the bottom line with this, looks like policymakers really seem split on what the answer is on what to do. don't expect anything unless the economy takes another turn for the worse and then you may see the fed step in. kyra.

phone. trying to make a date with my girl. then you got guys trying out different sport, chad ochocinco couldn't make a soccer player, he's been trying something different there. then you gotsome zbikowski, he's throwing jabs in the boxing ring. hopefully he'll be able to keep his day job with the baltimore ravens, they're having a tough time. then david bruton, decided to take kick ball over kick booking. he's teaching at his old high school joining us live from dayton, ohio. what you tell me, they're pretty good. giving you a run for your money? >> yeah, yeah, i can't pitch a no-hitter against them. >> this has been an education for you. so, i'm curious, it's your football coach that actually geared you toward teaching during this time. how did he talk you into it, and why teach right now and go back to your high school during this lockout date?

what does it mean to you? >> it means a lot. i originally planned to come back to spend time with my son. especially since during the season, i don't goat get to see him much. but once coach threw the idea out there and a couple friends lobbied for that idea. i, of course, wasn't hesitant to pursue the opportunity to teach. >> and you're definitely not doing it for the money. you're making 90 bucks a day. so i'm curious. we see how much football players make. and now you're seeing how hard teachers work and what they make. has this made an impact on you with regard to how we should all treat and respect and look at our teachers? >> definitely much the teachers, definitely are not compensated how they should be. they do a lot of work, put in a lost hour, and manage 20 to 25 kids in a classroom, it's a

difficult task. >> i can just imagine. i know how close you are with coach tim lewis, this is who you played for when you were in high school. he's still there. does he have you talking to kids when you're still in school? your hopes are to go on to law school. are you more than a teacher, but also a mentor and buddy to these kids? >> yeah, i foresee myself as a buddy, mentor to these kids, especially when he hasn't talked to certain kids that are not necessarily focused in school, or they're having a tough time in classes, as long as we can talk to them about how sports is not the only answer. there's different answers out there. i talked about career days, and everything else, in regards to other schools around this area. >> you definitely lead by example. graduated from notre dame. great player, thinking about law school and now giving back by substitute teaching during this

lockout. david bruton, thanks for talking with us. those kids are really lucky to have you. >> thank you, thank you for having me. >> you bet. president obama deciding about the troop withdraw in afghanistan, how many troops and when? with honey nut cheerios cereal. kissed with real honey. and the 100% natural whole grain oats can help lower your cholesterol. you are so sweet to me. bee happy. bee healthy.

all right. let's take a quick look at some headlines that will be making news later today. republican presidential candidate tim pawlenty discusses his plan for the nation's economy and speech in chicago. president obama and german chancellor angela merkel hold a press conference at 11:35 eastern and miami heat face off against the dallas m-in game four of the nba playoffs. miami leads two games to one. with the decision of the u.s. troops looming. president obama will chat with hamid karzai. edie hill has the primetime preview. hi, e hi, e.d. >> it's going to be interesting to see what the president decides to do.

>> for hours they talked about many things. spent determining what the size of the drawdown should be. the president had to had in many, many troops just last year because of the resurgence of the taliban. he doesn't want to make it so large and do that in, say, another year. he's also waiting on recommendations from the defense secretary and afghanistan general petraeus. they have not told him what they think the proper size should be. but for us here in america, especially people like me who live in towns where a lot of kids go into the military right out of high school. this is something that is very close to us. it is really something that impacts our town of families we know. so i think a lot of americans are going to be waiting to find out, have we been able to accomplish enough with the increase in troops that we can finally start bringing these folks back home. we'll talk to someone with intimate knowledge of afghanistan and how the troops have ended and flowed over the past couple of years. and you know what everybody else was talking about.

that was that announcement by new york representative anthony weiner yesterday. i'm sure you'll be talking about that some more. but i found it kind of interesting, here is this blogger, and he gets the scoop. he gets the information, that the major media did not. now, i don't know how he digs it up. i don't know why people maybe came to him. but he put it out there. and he took all sorts of heat from it. many people were accusing him of flat-out making this stuff up. saying, well, you know about his checkered past. sure, he's got one but this time he got the big news, and then what will anthony weiner say today? i was still curious when he phrased it ascending some of this information and pictures as part of a joke. clearly i'm not that clever, because i can't figure out what the joke was. a lot of people are wondering what new information may come out today. we'll talk to andrew breitbart to find out. >> e.d. hill, thanks so much.

and coming up. prosecutors in the casey anthony murder trial call ace scientist to the stand. she said there's only one explanation about the smell coming from her car after her toddler disperiod? >> did you immediately recognize the odor coming from the can? >> i recognize it as human decomposition. >> we'll hear more from the man who prosecutors say lay the ground work from the case. >> and jeff bridges will explain how he is getting involved in the fight against child hunger. that and more next.

well, a new poll shows that president obama has lost his bin laden bounce, and the republican rival has pulled even with him. jim acosta in washington with more on that, jim. >> good morning. yes, it is safe to call mid romney the former massachusetts governor the front-runner in this race for a gop nomination this morning. there are fresh poll numbers in a new washington post/abc poll. that i thil will get attention of the white house. take a look at these numbers in a head-to-head matchup with president obama. mitt romney pulling basically even with the president among all american, 47% to 47%. among registered voters romney holds a slight lead. 49% to 46%.

why? because of the economy. romney has been hitting on the economic issue for weeks now, president obama, according to this new poll does not get high marks when it comes to the economy. nearly 6 out of 10 of the people who were surveyed in this poll do not approve of the way he's hamming the economy. austan goolsbee is leaving as chairman of council of economic advisers and going back to the university of chicago where he was a professor. and this is interesting, because goolsbee has been on the job for less than a year. he had replaced christina roamer who also stepped down to go to her gig as a professor out in california. this is a bit of a shakeup for the white house economic team. speaking of the economy, speaking of the university of chicago, that's where tim pawlenty will be today. former minnesota governor will give his speech on the economy, calling for big
